If you’ve been through a school exclusion with your child, the DfE wants to hear how it went. It’s open until 19 November.

🏛️ Consultation corner: school exclusions

If your child’s ever been sent home from school, or you’ve sat in one of those meetings afterwards wondering what happens next, this one’s for you.

The Department for Education wants evidence on its plans to change how suspensions and exclusions work in England. It’s looking at three things:

✅ Internal suspension, so a child removed from class stays in school and keeps learning
✅ A proper meeting and agreed plan when a child goes back after a suspension, with parents involved
✅ Schoolwork being set and done in the first five days of a suspension or permanent exclusion, rather than catching up later

Parents can have their say too, and it’s asking for real examples of what works and what doesn’t. You don’t need to answer every question.

It closes at 11:59pm on Thursday 19 November.

Keep it about the system, with no names or details of any child. What would have made going back to school easier for your family?
